A Brief History
Fond folk festival memories planted the seed of an idea with the founding members of the Medicine Hat Folk Music Club. They asked "Why couldn't Medicine Hat have folk music concerts and maybe even a folk festival some day?"
So.... In the early spring of 2002, the first meetings of this new folk music family were held and a board of directors chosen.
Our vision is to bring to Medicine Hat regular live concerts showcasing the many different folk genres. These include (but are not restricted to!) Celtic, Native American, Country Swing, Zydeco, Blues, Gospel, Bluegrass, Roots Country, Alternative Folk, Latin, Gypsy, African, Klezmer.... and more.
Join us in the adventure! Become a member, become a mentor, become a friend!
Our Mandate
To promote and foster folk music and its wide interpretation through concerts, workshops, publications, education and other such means, thereby bringing the experience of folk music to as wide an audience as possible.
Years gone by.... a photo history
Please check back soon, we are working on putting together a photographic history of the club. If you have any photos that you wish to share, please send them to website@mhfolkmusic.com
